A large rock body that moves as a unit along a planar surface would be classified as a rock slide.
A big mass of rock rolling down a slope is known as a rock slide, sometimes also known as Landslides. Most rock slides are translational slope failures because the movement almost always occurs parallel to a fracture, bedding plane, or metamorphic foliation plane. The movement might be either extremely sluggish or somewhat fast.
